Frequently Asked Questions

Which type of steel is best for swimming pools?

Stainless steel for swimming pools is considered the best option for fittings due to its high corrosion resistance, durability, and affordability for manufacturers. There is also a great deal of flexibility through stainless steel alloys, which each have different properties. Finally, there are many options for stainless steel finishes, which can further enhance its properties and create a polished look.

Do stainless steel pool fittings rust?

It is possible for stainless steel to rust if your pool water becomes too hot or the level of chemicals becomes too high. Proper swimming pool maintenance will help prevent the formation of a corrosive environment.

What are swimming pool skimmers?

A skimmer is a piece of swimming pool equipment that cleans the water by separating foreign substances from the surface of the water. It works by sucking pool water into a conduit system which then removes any dirt and small debris. Pool skimmers are therefore effective at supporting ongoing maintenance efforts.

Are stainless steel fittings suitable for saltwater pools?
